Boy George, if you’ll remember, got all thin recently. But the former Culture Club singer seems to have replaced snacking between meals with stirring up trouble, and his latest outburst is predicting the demise of Britain’s best loved boyband One Direction (sorry The Wanted).

"I reckon Harry Styles will leave One Direction! You heard it here first!" Boy George Tweeted, which obviously caused a torrent of abuse from One Directioners. Backtracking a bit, Boy George then confusingly added: "Don't hate on me for keeping the spirit of @onedirection very much alive! I come from a place of love!".

And it’s Boy George’s second controversial outburst directed at 1D in 24 hours. At the BRIT Awards the eighties singer blasted Harry’s bandmate Liam Payne on Twitter after he apparently declined to pose for a photo with his 13-year-old niece Molly Fitzpatrick.

“Top marks to Harry Styles for stopping for a picture with my niece and Bo**ox's to Liam and the disrespectful w**ker of a minder!” he Tweeted.

The Karma Chameleon singer really did take to Harry, later including him in his hotly-anticipated ‘stars of the night’ list on Twitter. "Stars of the night, Harry Styles, Lana Del Ray, Jessie J. Too many drug f**ked twits to mention elsewhere! Emily Sande was great!”

We bet Harry, Jessie and Lana are all thrilled that this totally relevant 51-year-old artist said something nice about them. Although never one to miss an opportunity to hide a bitchy remark within a compliment, Boy George couldn’t resist adding “Jessie J is very attractive in person!” BURN.

But this isn’t the first washed-up pop star to predict that One Direction could lose a member. Ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden recently predicted that Niall Horan would be the first to leave the band, saying: "He'll be full of whiskey and Guinness and he'll do something." Righttttt.

Could one of the fivesome really pull a Robbie Williams-style exit to pursue a solo career? Harry does have a habit of leaving his bandmates to go partying with best mate Nick Grimshaw, but we don't think that means he's about to quit, bleach his hair and hang out with Liam Gallagher at Glastonbury (what Robbie did in 1995, FYI). But look on the bright side, even if that does happen at least they'll all reunite for an arena tour fifteen years from now. Something to look forward to.
